Why Franchising?
In the UK there many successful franchises including Kentucky Fried Chicken, Prontaprint, Kall Kwik, Pizza Express, Clarks & K Shoes and Swinton Insurance.
You Own The Business As a director of your own business you are able to reap the rewards of your endeavours and ideas. There is no limit to your earnings and business owners are more committed to making the business a success.
You Get Business Support You are able to benefit from existing managerial know how, management procedures, greater supplier discounts and shared marketing and design skills.
A Proven Concept in Optics Franchising has been proven to work in optics, particularly now that the market place has become more competitive and customers are looking for greater value and the latest promotion.
Only 4% of new franchisees fail in the last 5 years of trading compared with 39% of non-franchise new businesses.

If you decide to take a Looks Opticians franchise, then you will receive the support your require to make it a success, with a flexible package, which includes:
Quality Products Service and Training
Looks Opticians are continuously negotiating preferential terms with major suppliers including Alcon, Ciba Vision, Essilor, Optical Service and Wesley Jessen.

A Full Marketing Package Looks Opticians, a finalist in the Optician Magazine Eyecare Awards, provides you with marketing campaigns that help you to stand out from your competitors.
This includes:
Typical Costs
A typical branch can expect a first year sales turnover of approximately £200,000 - £300,000, depending upon location and site, with say a gross profit of 70%.
We estimate that the typical total start up cost for a new Looks Opticians store is in the region of £120,000. Of this the partners are expected to provide £30,000, which will be in the form of loan capital. Looks will provide a further loan capital of £30,000 to match that put in by the partners.
The remainder is then sourced on your behalf through bank borrowing and leasing finance.
The monthly franchise fee is 7.5%, plus up to 4.5% for marketing.
This will appeal to opticians, who are currently trading, but feel that they would benefit from a highly recognisable corporate image and from improved marketing.
Owner opticians will be able to concentrate on the clinical aspects, whilst also benefitting from Looks full retail package and management skills.
There is a monthly franchise fee of 5.0%, plus up to 4.5% of sales turnover for marketing.
